Globalisation

The McDonalds game does raise awareness about what must be done to keep a business such as McDonalds runing and staying in profit. It makes us realise how corrupt organisations such as McDonalds are, and how things such as injecting cows and doing other things that may harm the consumer are almost neccesary just to stay in profit, as well as needing to bribe important people to stop them from finding out and shuting you down. The game raises a small amount of awareness about globalisation and how business's such as McDonalds have influenced places such as Italy, as this was the game was made. The person responsible for making this game is clearly not impressed with how McDonalds is run and is definately trying to prove to others that McDonalds is a corrupt business, although he did choose to do this in a very crude way.

The Peter Packet game is not very good at raising awareness in my opinion because there is not information about poverty until the end of the game, the only education that anyone would get from playing the game is how information travels through the internet. This shows that games cannot be used well to raise awareness about issues such as poverty.
